The Zune is Microsoft’s new MP3 player, and it seems to be a horrible product. I referenced a humorous review of the Zune in a previous post titled “Don’t Buy a Zune“. Here’s another review of the Zune: Whatever Happened to the Zune?

Some may think that I’m being hard on the Zune or Microsoft in general. What’s funny about Microsoft is that they continually try to compete with well established products or services and often fail. A popular, well-established service or product got that way by offering exactly what people want. What Microsoft tries to do is offer an alternative that doesn’t offer any real advantages over whatever they are trying to compete with. Just look at the Zune, Live Search, etc., to see what I’m referring to. The well established alternatives are the iPod and Google Maps, of course.
